Line Items

Overview

Each campaign consists of one or several line items. You can run an ad only after creating a campaign and at least one line item.

A line item is where you will select the products and the retailer you'd like to advertise on. Each line item can consist of multiple featured products but can only run across 1 retailer. To run across multiple retailers, you will need to create multiple line items.

There is also a number of line item settings to help you spend your budget wisely and optimize your delivery.

With the Criteo API, you will be able to:

• 💼 Manage your retail media line items

• 💸 Configure line items such as budgets, flight dates, bids (Onsite Sponsored Products only), and targeting capabilities (Preferred Deals only)

• 📃 Retrieve and advertise products from your product catalog
